After adding chords in the plugin I'm selecting the style I want but it doesn't appear and so the tracks cannot be generated. The small green squares don't show up besides the tracks. I just installed BiB 2023. Is there some setup I'm missing? Baloo-53

It'll be best if you can say which version you have of BiaB (Pro, Mega, Ultra, etc.) and which style you're trying to use. Sometimes things are hidden in the stylepicker because there's a filter set that one hasn't noticed. Click the [Clear] in the top-centre first before searching. I'm presuming you have rebuilt the styles database, as BiaB asks for that when needed, but if not, there's a [Rebuild] button bottom centre.

I can't find any clear button in the plugin. However, I can see all the styles and I've randomly tried several of them but nothing shows up in the track list in the plugin. The styles database is rebuilt and works as normal in BiaB.

The [Clear] and [Rebuild] buttons are both in the StylePicker, highlighted in the image. I've also highlighted a place where a RealTrack is shown as not available. Not available usually means either you haven't purchased them, or you have yet to install them. IIRC you N/A can also appear against the styles themselves, for the same reasons, but I couldn't see any on my setup. The list of styles and tracks you will have usually depends upon whether you have ProPAK, MegaPAK, UltraPAK, Audiophile, etc., hence that part of my question. FWIW, I was surprised to see the NAs in the track box, but I'd recently installed some 2023 packs and hadn't done the [Rebuild]. After doing so, the tracks are no longer NA for me.

They all work fine in BiaB but not in the DAW plugin. In addition to my previous comment I'm using Band-in-a-Box UltraPAK Upgrade 2023 for Windows (Upgrade from 2021 or earlier or crossgrade) which I installed as an upgrade from my previous installations Band-in-a-Box 2014 UltraPlusPAK with RealBand and Band-in-a-Box 2020 MegaPAK Upgrade with RealBand.
